I joined about a week ago, because I love giving hair advice, and I have been commenting on pretty well every post I see. I figure now I feel comfortable enough to ask for some guidance from everyone else.
Right now, my dream hair is this colour style, but with the blonde more underneath for less yucky roots.
With this type of cut. I've had a similar cut before, though, and loved it.
This is my natural hair texture, more tamed than usual.
Then I coloured over that on July 29/30 and got this.
Which has washed out to a coppery orange red with strawberry blonde streaks from when I had blonde panels last year. This picture is from only hours ago.
For reference, my hair has also looked like this (going backwards in time):
February (cut some bangs into it and thinned the bottom)
December
Last August (used a colour remover)
Last July
Before that it was just brown for a year
March 2008
Blue-black, the only black I ever use (slightly washed out), in February 2007
Job-safe red stripe in September 2006
Summer 2006, and my favourite cut and colour EVER. Ideally, my hair would grow like this. Before this, it was brown where all the red is. And before that, college and high school.
SO, what I'm asking is, I guess, will that hair suit me? It only needs to be slightly normal-looking, because my job is pretty lax (I mean, there's a guy with a really long ponytail beard and no one really cares about my face jewellery if I forget it's in). Can I pull it off? Should I try a different red? Different cut? Arrange the blonde differently? I won't be doing this for a while, I'm just looking for more ideas.
PS what do I tell the hairdresser when I get it cut? What kind of cut is that? Thelast place I went to didn't understand what "choppy" meant and that I wanted razoring and NEED texturising/thinning shears and I ended up with NO layers in the back and a 70s-style front D: How do I ask for the cut I had when my hair was red and black? I told my hairdresser at the time that I wanted choppy layers and showered her where I wanted the shortest front pieces and BAM it was perfect.
omg terrible wordy post, guys
